I love red lipsticks as they boost your self-confidence and make you look hot ;)
Although I own a lot of red lippies I couldn't resist buying this oh so popular shade from the L'Oreal moist matte range which was flaunted by Aish at the cannes - yes it is lincoln rose :D
I was thinking a lotttttt to buy this because its pretty much costly and I wanted to make sure I invest in the right product & finally I'm happy I did ;) :))
So what is so special about this lipstick?
Read on to know more!

The moist matte lipsticks from L'oreal come in regular twist up style in a rose gold glossy casing which is pretty classy.

There
is a tiny square shade descriptor at the place where the lid and the
case meets - but trust me you don't wanna trust this shade as this
doesn't match with the real shade of the lipstick inside (for any shade)
It closes with a click and shuts tight making it convenient to carry :)
The bullet is carved in such a way that you can easily apply the lipstick directly from the bullet :)
L'oreal scores 10\10 for the perfect casing!

Shade & Pigmentation

L'oreal moist matte lincoln rose is a beautiful reddish pink which brightens up your face instantly.
I
tend to slide more towards pinkish reds and deep reds than blood\brick
reds as they tend to be more attractive & feminine! So I love this
shade :D
I assure you won't need anything else on your face the day you wear this - it gets all the attraction ;)
The
moist matte lippies are intensely pigmented and beautiful. Lincoln rose
gives a good coverage with just one swipe and its all you need for a
normal day. And if you are hitting a party that evening or having a
festivity then just go with a second coat and you're all dolled up ;)

Texture & Staying Power

As the name says the moist matte lipsticks are super matte and have a slight powder finish texture.
Being matte lipsticks they aren't drying at all and gives the perfect look to your lips.
The lipstick doesn't settle on your lip lines or accentuate them - so big thumbs up!
But one downside with this lipstick is it transfers crazily :( So you ought to be super cautious while sipping your coffee!

Lincoln rose is a pretty reddish pink and just one coat stays put for 5+ hours after which it fades into a beautiful and even pink tint :)
If you are looking for eating in between then it might start fading quick. However with 2 coats you are good to go for a whole day (12+ hours) without any touch-ups.
I'm super glad with the staying power of this lipstick as I hate to retouch my lipstick during the day.

Final verdict: I love this lippy a lot lot lot and will definitely be repurchasing it if I finish the one I have. I'm eyeing the raspberry syrup shade too ;)
Also this is a wonderful bridal shade and so planning to include it in my wedding trousseau ;) :D
